- All right, what's up guys?

This is Thomas, and in this video, I'm gonna show you how to make your first ever travel video in three easy steps.

Obviously, I'm not traveling right now.

I'm in the beautiful London, so I'm gonna take you away to some epic locations.

Let's cut to that. and then get started.

Step number one is you're going to select your shots around the story.

The biggest beginner mistake is you shoot everything aimlessly, pointlessly.

You go around, you see cool thing, you shoot.

You see cool thing, you shoot.

You get shaky footage, you get bad angles, you get too many shots.

You come back with five terabytes of footage

that you're never going to edit

and it just sits there whilst you slowly weep the pain away

that you're never going to see the video that you wanted to make in the first place.

That's not what we want.

So instead, you're going to select your shots around the story.

Think what is the story?

What is the video you want to make?

What is the story you want to tell?

So let's say you're going to Bali.

Instead of just shooting a load of random shots of Bali, you're thinking, "What is the story?" "Okay, where am I going?" Right now I'm in a hostel and I'm going to go to an epic beach.

Okay, that's the story how I'm getting there, and then when I arrive, that's probably like the climax, right?

And then the ending might be a beautiful sunset with the beach, with the mission accomplished.

That's your basic story.

So get shots around that story.

Tastes like charcoal that's been blundered.

That's actually a good point.

Tastes of charcoal.

We're both gonna die, mate.

Let's try to slide some over here.

That's a good idea.

So that's what you'd have in your mind.

You've got your rough beginning, your rough middle, and your rough end.

From there, you're going to shoot each part of the story, and also importantly, the transitions between each part of the story, which leads me on to step number two.

All right, step number two is that you're going to shoot for flow.

What I mean by this is that you are continuously thinking about where you are now, and how you're going to arrive where you're going to arrive.

I mean, both literally like obviously you need to be thinking about this if you want to travel, But.. the same way with your video.

So a typical thing I see from the beginners inside my online courses is that they will create montages, which means it'll be like, Here's a shot of us in the hostel.

Here's a shot of us on the beach.

And then here's a shot of us with a drink.

and I cut them together And then it's, I wonder why I don't have a story.

And I wonder why I don't have a cool travel video that engages people.

So you've really got to think about the flow here.

How do you get from place to place?

How are you going to take your viewers with you?

How are you going to create suspense and excitement about where you're going, about where your viewers are going to come with you?

So, If you're doing this visually without any vlogging or talking to camera, then what you can do is just make sure you get those transition shots.

You can even think about some cool transition effects, such as whip pans or maybe covering the camera and revealing somewhere else.

You can only do these things with a little bit of forethought.

When I was in Bali a couple of years ago, we had to do this exact thing.

We had to go from a hostel.

really early to get to a beach to actually catch it for sunrise.

and I could have very easily

got a shot of me waking up in the hostel and then a shot of us on the beach, but then I wouldn't have had a video.

Instead, the whole story and the whole climactic moment was the effort to get to the beach, which actually turned out to be a nightmare.

Me and George were driving around these motorcycles in the dark, not knowing where we were going.

having no idea how to get there, asking locals, people who are up at 4 :00 a .m in the dark with their chickens on their farm, asking them where we needed to go in a completely different language.

And when we actually got there, Oh man, it was such a...

climactic, incredible moment because we felt like we'd achieved so much and been through all these adventures to get there.

So really thinking about the flow of the video is what's going to capture your viewers' attention

and make sure they stick with you whether that's doing visual transitions, showing those journeys, or whether that's telling the story in a more vlog style.

All right, finally, step number three is to let your tracks, your songs, dictate the structure of your video.

This is a mistake I always see.

People just slap on a track and then that's it.

They don't edit to the track.

So this step kind of comes in layers.

The typical advice you hear, which is great advice, is to cut to the beat of the music.

It's a surefire way to make your more amateur looking video seem more professional.

However, a step further than this is to let your track dictate the structure of your video.

So a song, a piece of music, has a beginning, has a middle, has an end.

It has climactic moments, it has more downbeat, chill moments.

So ideally, you're going to want to search for a track, that will reflect the rough story that you have in your video.

This is assuming that your video is shorter, by the way.

This is assuming that you're working on maybe a three or four minute video.

It's a whole nother topic if you're making a 20 minute, 30 minute vlog.

That's for another video, but If we're talking about, okay, we want to make a nice short punchy three or four minute video, then how are we going to pick a track?

Well, if your video has

chill morning where you're chilling out getting a coffee

and then in the middle you know something crazy happens

or you go on this adventure and it's more kind of epic and and at the end it's chill again, you want to find a track that represents that.

You want to find a track that has a chill beginning, builds up to a climactic moment and then has a chill end.

When you have that track, you're then going to edit your video to each section.

You have to be quite ruthless here.

So let's say your morning shots, you have like five minutes of footage or like 10 minutes and the chill section of that track is like 45 seconds.

you're going to have to cram those 10 minutes into 45 seconds and make some ruthless decisions

taken out a lot of material to get the bare bones, the best stuff that just tells the story that just looks great, to get into those 45 seconds.

This, by the way, is how professionals make videos.

Do not think that when I go out and make a travel video, every single shot is great and I just have unlimited options of shots.

No, it's usually I'll get You know, 20 minutes of footage for one scene, and then I'll use 30 seconds of it, or one minute of it.

So it's rather than everything I shoot is amazing, it's picking the amazing bits from the footage and only putting them in the video.

So once you do that to the chill section, and then you use your transition footage to transition as the music transitions, to the more exciting, more adventurous section,

and then the music might get more emotive, more emotional.

As you close off the video, maybe give some nice philosophical thoughts.

on your experience, or maybe let the visuals do the talking of the sunset or the sunrise, whatever it is.

Your video is going to end along with the track, and that is really how you make an emotive video to a song that just works perfectly together.

It's getting pretty chilly here in the park now.

If you would like to get a list of gear that I use for all of my videos, a list of gear, if you're a beginner, what gear to use, if you are intermediate, which gear to use, if you're a professional,

which gear to use, then just download the gear list, which is in the description of this video.

By getting that gear list, you'll also get a bunch of tips and tricks that are going to be sent to you in the newsletter, as well as exclusive opportunities to join my online programs.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
